The President-elect of Uruguay, Luis Lacalle Pou, who will assume on March 1, announced that he will launch a set of measures to make the current residency rules, both bureaucratic and scal, more exible in order to attract foreigners to the country.
He said that Uruguay is “a place where investment is respected, where it is good to bring the family to live and where there is legal certainty.” In local media it was reported that, speci cally, the incoming administration seeks to attract between 50,000 and 100,000 foreigners in its ve years of government, with a strong emphasis on large and small Argentine businessmen who are a ected by the economic uctuations of that country.
